My Students

My students are eager to learn and want to succeed. Many of them do not receive much support, or have many resources at home to be very successful, so it's my job to provide that for them at school. Overall, my class is full of very visual learners who love to read and enjoy playing learning games. Many of my students have few books at home, and by providing a wide range of titles in our classroom, I can ensure that my students are able to read books of interest!

My Project

My students need new books that they can read to grow their love of reading. By tapping in to my students' hobbies and favorite topics, I'm hoping these books will become new favorites of my students and will help them become children who love to read! These books will be well loved and read often by my students and all future students that I have! There are a variety of books included in this collection and I know that many of my students will enjoy multiple titles from this list! Some of my children do not have many books at home, so school is one of the only places they have contact with a variety of books. Please consider helping us grow our classroom library so that we can become readers!
